Not to get "theological" or any such thing, but in Tulasi Ramayana (Ramcharitmanas), the sage Kak Bhusundu narrates how he traversed many worlds and in each of them there was an Ayodhya and a Rama; so, presumably, they all have their own Ramayanas, too.

But I am with commentators like Anand Ranganathan and Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, that Modi by himself can barely get BJP to a majority; it is Pappu that gets the BJP to well above majority.
